Alan Odle

Alan Odle (1888-1948) was an English illustrator, remembered today as the husband of the English novelist Dorothy Richardson. His grotesque and subversive style was a precursor of surrealism. He illustrated an English edition of Voltaire's "Candide", Mark Twain's "1601" and "The Mimiambs of Herondas". He contributed to a number of short-lived periodicals such as "The Gypsy" & " The Golden Hind."

He married Richardson in 1917. The film director and Python Terry Gilliam is a connoisseur of his work.There is an article on him by Martin Steenson in the Antiquarian Book Monthly Review October 1979
